By Boat

Taking your own boat is the perfect opportunity to experience the island’s many coastal activities at your own pace. Western Australia has the highest per capita boat ownership in Australia and Rottnest Island is a destination favourite. Regulations and guidelines are in place to preserve Rottnest's unique environment and to ensure the safety of those enjoying the Island and its waters.

The Rottnest Island Authority manages all moorings and jetty pens on the Island. There are two systems in place to manage these:

The first system involves a rental system for moorings and jetty pens which is administered by the Marine and Boating section at the Rottnest Island Visitor Centre. Phone: (08) 9432 9111.
